What happened? Did they kick your dog or something?

What’s better? KDE? Or GNOME?

Cinnamon.

Nah just kidding. What happens is that you use enough different OSes and DEs for enough time and you start to see through the matrix. You realize they’re all just visual wrappers for the underlying systems that do the real work, and the DEs don’t really matter. All the major ones are good enough. And when they don’t work, that’s when you use command line. Then eventually, after doing that enough times, you say “fuck it all, get this GUI out of my way” and just start using CLI for everything.

I’m quite lactose intolerant and don’t handle cabbage well either.

Remaining instructions unclear; banana stuck in rectum.

There’s no such thing as rewatching Black Books too many times.

A company, that not only immensely obstructs transparency, but also falls into the jurisdiction of foreign / non-EU institutions.

In the US, companies contracted by the federal government must comply with data storage location requirements that DO keep the data strictly within their territory and under national jurisdiction. i believe this falls under FedRAMP regulations. I’m 95%+ certain that major EU countries have equivalent policies (probably even better ones, considering the GDPR and so forth).

That correction aside, I completely agree with the larger concern here.

Yeah, that’s exactly what we should be concerned about. These problems aren’t going to get better by killing people.

The mother of a gradeschool friend was at Kent State in May 1970 when the national guard shot and killed 4 students and wounded 9 others. She said it was appalling and horrifying.

Are we really going back to this shit? I guess this country learned nothing.

I’ll call them whatever you want – Kekse, galletas, piškotki – if you help us get rid of the fascists.

But personally I’ll always associate the word ‘biscuit’ with this.

+1, I’ll make cookies.

Just tried it on Ubuntu LTS (as a flatpak) and my first impression wasn’t great.

The sign-in experience was nice with a QR code and verification code. But then the first thing on the video browse list was as ad, and the first video I played started with the same ad. There’s no icon you can click to go fullscreen, but I have a wireless keyboard and eventually figured out F11 is a shortcut (F and Enter do nothing). But then about 3 minutes into the video, the whole app window went gray. Nothing clickable, just 100% gray. I was able to exit fullscreen and close out the app, but it was pretty obviously a Ui crash of some sort.

This was just the first impression so I’ll keep it installed and see if it improves with updates. Or maybe try it on Deck or my Endeavor machine.

The dev thought “I know exactly what you meant, but I still insist you to do it my way”.

I mean, that would work once or twice, but after that I don’t think remaining war criminals would agree to the deal, knowing their predecessors were executed.

Welp, guess I’m stealing that for my new avatar image on every website.

That’s not the best argument, since historically some popes took many years to select. Like, so long it was a major problem and they had to make reforms that included locking the cardinals in a room and taking away everything but bread and water at times.

Good details about the insanity in this Tasting History episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZCs9aMkzBQ

Yep, I’ve read a few of the others too. Excellent stuff!

You’re amazing. Format is great. I just scroll past the stuff that doesn’t interest me, but more often than not something catches my eye and I end up reading stuff I wouldn’t have clicked on (let alone waded through ads for) on a regular gaming site. That’s such a good feeling, and yeah, reminds me of the old days of flipping through gaming mags.

Okay, that’s pretty funny. Doesn’t German have the verb “fischen”? At least in English, angling is a specific type of fishing with a hook and line (as opposed to e.g. spears or nets).

I’m still trying to figure this out too. Search engines are no help.
